Abstract: The document "Observationes Silianae" by Neil W. Bernstein, published in Mnemosyne in 2024, analyzes specific passages from Silius Italicus' Punica. The text delves into the interpretation of Punica 4.179-180, 8.121, and 12.130, discussing issues related to language, metrical anomalies, and proposed emendations. Bernstein's analysis provides insights into the nuances of classical Latin poetry and the challenges of textual interpretation in ancient epic literature. [Extracted from the article]
